Patient's question:
A 12-year-old girl suddenly noticed some blood-like substance on her pants a couple of days ago, but she didn't mention it. It feels like something an adult might have due to inflammation. There was a bit of it on the first day and a bit on the third day. The child has already gone through some breast development and has pubic hair. I want to know if this could be her starting her period. Will she get her period next month?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it's possible that the child may be experiencing menstruation, which could lead to the reappearance of bloody discharge. There's no need to be overly concerned. Due to the child's young age, the ovarian function is not yet fully developed, so menstruation may not occur regularly on a monthly basis. Therefore, there's no need to be overly concerned.It's important to pay attention to hygiene in the perineal area, wash and change underwear frequently, and always keep underwear dry. During menstruation, sitting baths are strictly prohibited. Also, be mindful of avoiding cold and spicy foods.
The above advice is for this issue. I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
